Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 224: Her Gift to Fang Yusheng

When Fang Yusheng saw that his wife seemed to be telling the truth and was serious, he became uncertain.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Qiao Jiusheng for a long time before standing up and running upstairs.

If Qiao Jiusheng dares to fool me, she would die in bed tonight.

When Qiao Jiusheng heard Fang Yusheng’s footsteps going up the stairs, her smile widened.

Fang Yusheng stood in his room and rummaged through his belongings.

He searched the closet and the bedside table, but did not see any surprise. Fang Yusheng did not give up. He searched the TV and the tea set on the window, but had yet to find anything. His expression suddenly darkened.

Very good! She dares to lie to me!

Fang Yusheng turned around. He was about to go downstairs when Qiao Jiusheng happened to come upstairs. The two of them bumped into each other in the corridor.

Fang Yusheng grabbed her shoulders and pressed her between his chest and the wall. He lowered his voice and said in a threatening tone, “Qiao Jiusheng, you’re tired of living.”

Qiao Jiusheng continued to smile.

“There really is a gift.”

“Little liar, how dare you lie to me!” Fang Yusheng bit her nose.

Qiao Jiusheng touched the saliva on her nose and felt disgusted.

“Follow me.”

She walked upstairs.

Fang Yusheng stood at the same spot for a while before returning to his room.

Qiao Jiusheng pointed at the toilet. “Here.”

Fang Yusheng was stunned.

What kind of a gift is hidden in the bathroom?

Fang Yusheng stared at Qiao Jiusheng and said, “If you dare to lie to me, you’re finished.” Then, he walked to the toilet.

When he pushed open the bathroom door, Fang Yusheng saw a gift box on the bathroom counter. His eyes lit up, and his dark eyes instantly turned expectant. He quickly walked over, picked up the box, and shook it. Something moved inside.

The box wasn’t empty.

He raised the box and asked Qiao Jiusheng, who was outside the door, “What’s inside?”

Qiao Jiusheng shrugged. “You’ll know when you open it.”

“Hmph.” Fang Yusheng opened the box. It was filled with tiny pieces of paper and a cute baby shoe.

Fang Yusheng: “…”

He picked up the shoe and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “My feet are size 42.” The thing in his hand could not even fit his heels.

Qiao Jiusheng walked over to him and leaned against the door frame of the washroom. She winked at him and smiled. “Touch inside the shoes.”

Fang Yusheng frowned and did as he was told.

He reached in and felt a long stick.

Suddenly, Fang Yusheng’s heart beat faster.

He suddenly turned back to look at Qiao Jiusheng. Qiao Jiusheng was still smiling, her smile bright and filled with warmth. An idea surged in Fang Yusheng’s heart, and it almost made him go crazy. He was touched, and his throat was a little dry. He held the stick in his hand and did not dare to take it out for a long time.

He was afraid that he would be happy for nothing.

Qiao Jiusheng found his reaction funny, but her heart warmed.

Fang Yusheng took a deep breath and took his right hand out of the shoe.

He opened his palm and saw a mini pregnancy test quietly lying on it. Two red lines could be seen at a glance.

Fang Yusheng blinked.

The two red lines were right.

His throat tightened.

His breathing became heavier.

His heartbeat became even more erratic.

Qiao Jiusheng walked into the washroom and hugged Fang Yusheng from behind. Sensing the tightness of the person in her arms, Qiao Jiusheng could not bear to tease him anymore. “Fang Yusheng.” She tiptoed and bit his neck. “I’m pregnant.”

Fang Yusheng’s mind exploded.

It was noisier than the midnight alarms on New Year’s eve.

Today was the fourth day of May, the night before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Fang Yusheng had received the most precious gift of his life today.

The woman he loved was pregnant with his child.

“How… h-how long has it been?” he stuttered.

Qiao Jiusheng replied, “Last month, on the fourth.”

“Today is the sixth.”

That meant she had been pregnant for six weeks.

Fang Yusheng held the pregnancy test kit and did not turn around for a long time. Qiao Jiusheng felt that something was wrong. She let go of her arm and walked around Fang Yusheng. She looked up and saw a pair of red eyes.

Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

Tears of joy?

Her heart softened for a moment, but she said, “Useless!”

Fang Yusheng tightly closed his eyes.

No one could understand how deep his emotions were right now.

He used to think he would grow old alone in this life, but he had found Ah Sheng and she became pregnant.

Fang Yusheng was at a loss for what to do.

Over the past decade, he had been used to living a quiet and lonely life. Suddenly, he was about to welcome a new life, and he was at a loss.

After a moment of silence, Fang Yusheng confusedly asked Qiao Jiusheng, “W-What should I do?” She was pregnant. What could he do? He did not seem to be able to help.

Qiao Jiusheng tapped his head. “Just accompany me and the child, and wait for it to be born.”

Fang Yusheng chuckled.

Like a blissful fool.

He suddenly took out his phone. “I have to take a photo of this.” Fang Yusheng captured a photo and carried Qiao Jiusheng out of the washroom before putting her on the bed. He said, “For safety reasons, we will temporarily stay downstairs for the next year.” Qiao Jiusheng was a shrew. She did not know how to jump up and down, so it was not safe to climb the stairs.

Qiao Jiusheng’s heart warmed. “I’ll listen to you.”

“Yes. It’s getting hot. We have to buy flat sandals.”

“Alright.”

“I have to buy a bigger car and install a baby seat.” It was time to change his Volkswagen. He could not let the little prince or the princess suffer. That sports car was quite flashy, but it was not suitable for carrying children.

Qiao Jiusheng faintly smiled and glanced at Fang Yusheng, mocking him. “You don’t feel the pain of spending all that money?”

Fang Yusheng was very generous. “We can afford to raise a child, but can’t afford a car?”

Qiao Jiusheng found him interesting.

Stingy but also cute.

They were about to become parents, a first for them, and both of them were a little excited. They could not sleep for a while. Qiao Jiusheng simply took out her tablet to play with the gluttonous snake. Fang Yusheng logged into the private software developed by the development team under Yan Nuo’s name, called OK. This private software was a chatting software and was completely safe. The people who used this software were the few people Fang Yusheng was most familiar with.

He logged into OK and entered the group chat.

In the group, Zhuang Long and Suzanne were chatting. One typed in English and the other in German. The two of them conversed in different languages, yet they were surprisingly harmonious.

Fang Yusheng watched the chat for a long time without saying anything.

Zhuang Long was complaining to Suzanne about his shameless wife, Xiao Li, who had run out to flirt with her young boyfriend after getting married. Suzanne was being Zhuang Long’s caring sister and advised him to be more open-minded.

The conversation between the two of them was roughly like…

Zhuang Long: She went out to have fun again today. Her legs are completely exposed outside her skirt. They only cover her buttocks. It’s outrageous. She didn’t come home last night. She doesn’t even care about the child now.

Suzanne: You don’t love her anyway. Just let her be.

Zhuang Long: That’s right, but she doesn’t have the self-awareness of a mother at all. She will set a bad example for Little Qilin by doing this.

Suzanne: “…”

Suzanne: Are you really not jealous?

Zhuang Long: Suzanne, are you joking?

Zhuang Long: She schemed against me to get pregnant with my child. I’m crazy to be jealous of her.

Zhuang Long: I don’t love her!

Zhuang Long: Whoever loves her is not human.

Zhuang Long: Go on a date with whoever you want. Anyone is fine.

Suzanne: … Today’s steak is so sour.

An: Usually, people fly into a rage out of humiliation because someone has poked their heart.

Fang Yusheng, who suddenly appeared in the chat, made the dialog box fall silent for half a second.

Soon, someone jumped out to speak.

K: An, good evening. This is Yan Nuo.

Ji Yinbing: An, have you had dinner?

Zhuang Long: So you’re all here. Why are you ignoring me? When that bastard Fang Yusheng came, you became willing to talk?

Zhuang Long felt the evil intentions of this world.

Suzanne: When are you going to bring your sweet little wife to change her mask?

She ignored Zhuang Long’s words.

Fang Yusheng curled his lips and searched the photo in the gallery on his phone. He threw it over in the chat.

An: [Picture .jpg]

An: I received a gift today. The constant traveling around will be tiring. Suzanne, come over.

Silence descended into the chat.

Everyone opened the photo and was confused on seeing the picture of a baby shoe in a box. However, Ji Yinbing and Suzanne quickly understood what it meant.

Ji Yinbing: Congratulations!

Susanna: A new addition.

The two of them sent the messages at almost the same time.

When Yan Nuo and Zhuang Long saw the message from the other two, they finally understood the photo.

Zhuang Long: F*ck! The old chicken is going to be a father…

Behind the computer, Yan Nuo’s eyes darkened. Fang Yusheng was a year younger than him, but he had become a father before him.

[Congratulations.] Yan Nuo sent a message. He turned around and messaged Ji Yinbing’s private chat. [When are we upgrading?]

It was unknown whether Ji Yinbing did not see the private message or she saw it and ignored it. In short, Yan Nuo’s message was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no reaction.

Fang Yusheng annoyingly smiled and typed a message on the screen with one hand.

An: Congratulations are empty words. Money is the most honest.

Zhuang Long’s voice roared: “Fang Yusheng, forget it if you reincarnate into money in your next life!” After shouting, Zhuang Long threw a private red packet at him.

System Notice: You have received a private red packet from your good friend Zhuang Long. You have received a private red packet from your good friend Suzanne…

After accepting four red packets, Fang Yusheng contentedly went offline.

Son of a bitch, you don’t have to worry about money for diapers anymore.

After finishing a round of the game, Qiao Jiusheng looked up and saw Fang Yusheng slyly smiling. She immediately frowned. “What did you do? You’re smiling so cheaply.”

Fang Yusheng placed his phone on the bedside table and lay down. He hugged Qiao Jiusheng and placed his hand on her abdomen before saying, “I got some pocket money from his uncles and aunties.”

“Useless.”

Fang Yusheng did not mind being despised by Qiao Jiusheng.

His fingers circled her abdomen. The thought of a baby being in there made him especially happy. He was no longer sleepy. “Do you feel uncomfortable now?”

“It’s still early.”

“No nausea? Or sleepiness?”

Qiao Jiusheng shook her head. “No.”

“Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?”

“It’s still too early. Let’s wait for another half a month.” It was too early now, and an ultrasound would not be able to check the embryo’s development.

Fang Yusheng understood that he was too excited.

That day, Qiao Jiusheng had felt provoked by Fang Mu and his child in the main building. She had thought that Fang Yusheng liked children very much, but she was still not pregnant after a long time. This had made her upset. Therefore, when she had passed by the pharmacy, she had bought a few boxes of pregnancy test kits.

When she saw the calendar this morning, she had realized that her menstruation was delayed by two to three days. So, she went to the toilet to check it with the intention of giving it a try.

In the end, the two lines of the pregnancy test kit had turned red.

It had shocked and confused her.

Considering that there might be a problem with the pregnancy test kit, Qiao Jiusheng had removed another one and tested again. However, the results remained the same.

Her heart had finally relaxed.

In the afternoon, she had specially gone out to buy a gift box and a baby shoe to give Fang Yusheng a surprise.

From the looks of it, Fang Yusheng really liked this gift.

Qiao Jiusheng’s breathing became increasingly gentle. Fang Yusheng stared at the side of her face, his hand still touching her abdomen. His eyes were filled with deep thought.?Ah Sheng is pregnant, and some things can’t be delayed.?Sooner or later, he and Fang Mu would fall out. Now that Ah Sheng was pregnant, he did not dare to take the risk.

***

Fang Yusheng did not plan to tell the Fang family about Qiao Jiusheng’s pregnancy. Only Aunt Jin and Qi Bufan knew about it.

Ever since Aunt Jin knew that Qiao Jiusheng was pregnant, she acted as if she were facing a formidable enemy. Every day, she was especially attentive to every meal. Every meal was nutritious and balanced, and the vegetables were all green. Even the soybeans and fish were sent over by the men in the family, so Qiao Jiusheng ate them with ease.

For the first two days, Qiao Jiusheng did not feel unwell. Five days later, she felt her appetite noticeably increase. After eating and drinking for a week, Qiao Jiusheng started to have slight morning sickness.

Fang Yusheng had always liked to stay in the house and never leave, so no one noticed anything unusual.

On the other hand, Fang Pingjue felt that the truth of Fang Mu’s divorce was very strange, so he got someone to investigate it.

After finding out the results and knowing that Qiao Jiuyin had abandoned her son just to chase Hu Yao away, Fang Pingjue was furious.

When one was middle-aged and old, their hearts would probably soften a little; they would no longer be as ruthless as when they were young. Fang Pingjue’s heart ached for the abandoned child. When he thought that his grandson’s soul could not rest in peace after his death, he was even more dissatisfied with Qiao Jiuyin.
